The Lal Masjid (which means "Red Mosque") is a large mosque in Islamabad, the capital city of Pakistan. It was built in 1965 and is one of the oldest mosques in the city. For twenty years, it was also the biggest mosque in Islamabad, until the Faisal Mosque was built in 1986.[1][2]

The mosque is in a very central area of the city. It is close to two busy shopping areas, Aabpara Market and Melody Market. It is also not far from the President's and Prime Minister's offices.[3]

The mosque became famous in 2007, when the Pakistan Army surrounded the mosque because of a conflict with its leaders and the students studying there. This led to a fight, and death of hundreds people.[4]

Important leaders of a mosque were from the same family: Muhammad Abdullah Ghazi and his two sons, Abdul Rashid Ghazi and Abdul Aziz Ghazi.[5]
